< Romans 8 >
1 There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and of death;
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 for what the Law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 that the righteousness of the Law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For those who are according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit—life and peace;
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the Law of God it does not subject itself,
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 And you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you; and if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ—this one is not His;
But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 and if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus out of the dead dwells in you, He who raised up the Christ out of the dead will also quicken your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.
12 So, then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
Therefore, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 for if according to the flesh you live, you are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body you put to death, you will live;
For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.
14 for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 for you did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but you received [the] Spirit of adoption in which we cry, “Abba! Father!”
For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 [This] One—the Spirit—testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God;
The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ—if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 for the earnest looking out of the creation expects the revelation of the sons of God;
For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 for to vanity was the creation made subject—not of its will, but because of Him who subjected [it]—in hope,
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope,
21 that also the creation itself will be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 for we have known that all the creation groans together, and travails in pain together until now.
For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
23 And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting adoption—the redemption of our body;
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what anyone beholds, why does he also hope for [it]?
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for?
25 And if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 And in like manner also, the Spirit helps our weaknesses; for what we may pray for, as it is necessary, we have not known, but [this] One—the Spirit—makes intercession for us with unutterable groanings,
Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we should: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 and He who is searching the hearts has known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God He intercedes for holy ones.
And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we have known that to those loving God all things work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 because whom He foreknew, He also foreordained, conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be firstborn among many brothers;
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 and whom He foreordained, these also He called; and whom He called, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He glorified.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What, then, will we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He who indeed did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him grant to us all things?
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who will lay a charge against the chosen ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous;
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifies.
34 who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, indeed, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God—who also interceded for us.
Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yes rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who will separate us from the love of the Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 According as it has been written: “For Your sake we are put to death all the day long; we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter.”
As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 But in all these we more than conquer, through Him who loved us;
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
